Urianger's new look

[SannaR]

Holy crap I'm not sure how much non obfuscated Urianger face time I can take. I also like the new duds he's wearing.

[MaethusXion]

At least he looks like a normal person now. Though then again, aside from his excursion with the HW-WoDs he's been more or less just tucked away in the Sands

At least he looks like a normal person now.

Indeed,He was ... some kind of eccentric dude before.
Goggle under goggle ... Jesus.

[SannaR]

Oh yeah I'm glad he seems to be playing a bigger role even if that only comes to him being a trust only, but those scenes with Y'Stola make it seem like it'll be more than just that. I do hope they make a little joke about him almost always having his face covered in the past.

I wonder if this is the Urianger and Y'Shtola we know? ...or...if this is them in our realm, or where ever they have been taken...curiouser, curiouser.

[Niqote]

To me it looks like an OLD look rather then a new one.

I don't think so, Y'shtola got her white eyes.

[Daralii]

I don't think so, Y'shtola got her white eyes.

They're paler than they were originally, but they're not the nearly pure white she had after coming back either. Even in the art they showed for her 5.0 gear, they're getting some of their definition and green coloration back.

When did he ever sport Astrologian garb? Last I checked he's rocked his current outfit since 1.0 and only once temporary changed his outfit while working with the WoD crew in a robe that was used a lot during HW.

Ahaha so I'm not the only one. It's pretty rare that I react to... anyone, much, with more than "yeah, that's a good-looking character design" but he makes me fangirl. Totally involuntary reaction. I'm not sure how much more I can handle at the moment.

Either that or I'm just excited by previously-masked characters getting revealed, because Estinien is another one.


I'm not keen on his new costume though, as much as I'd been hoping he'd get one. Most of it is fine, though not at all what I would have expected him to wear - the Dravanian robes he was wearing during the WoD arc suited him better - and that heavy necklace looks quite awkward. I think they're trying to conceal the weird Elezen neck proportions, but it's not working and maybe makes it worse. It's the sort of thing I'd avoid when picking costumes for my Elezen alt.

a robe that was used a lot during HW.

I don't think it was used a lot - in terms of character design, anyway. I think he's the only actual character who has worn it. Though design-recycling-wise, it was used twice in Heavensward (Lv55 Orthodox and Lv60 Dravanian sets) and then once more in Stormblood (Lv64 vendor gear).

Being the mage equivalent of the costumes we see Thordan's knights wearing, that would suggest it's thousand-year-old Dravanian fashion - which seems rather appropriate for him!
